The top comment, which i think is worth posting because it sums up my opinion:

"So tell﻿ me this...why does a man a long time ago tell us everything about our present but we can't even notice this now? When is the last time you thought for yourself why do humans who invented Ipads, Iphones, Cars, Planes, Computers, Enormous Skyscrapers, 3-D Screens, THOUSANDS of safety tools that keep us safe such as, Safety Belts, Air-Bags, Medicine, and many more things that are amazing if you think about it, why do humans still manage to slowly kill each and hate each other..."

thanks for your feedback. I really hope more people watch this! Because I've watched it about 5 times now, :lol:It changed my life, it's so amazing, especially how he said this speech back in 1940, and in my opinion, it's more relevant now than it was then!

I agree, I've already watched it 3 times. The relevance of the video to today's society amazes me, just goes to show that truth and genius is timeless. There is far too much selfishness, greed, hate and intolerance in the world and that's gotta change and it starts with each individual. As a wise man said, "make that change!"

Brilliant, to the point, and very, very moving! Thank you for sharing this MJFAN7, and I, like you, hope that more members will take the time to watch this. I can see why Charlie Chaplin had such an influence on Michael...their message is one and the same!

There is Hope for humanity, and I see more and more people waking up to this message. The time for "CHANGE" is upon us, so I will continue on this mission, making sure I spread messages like this one, to others!

Thank you for this video MJFAN!!!Even if I already saw this wonderfull speech many times,I had cillis again :(.Michael loves Charlie Chaplin with all his HEART.Charlie Chaplie left this world in 1977,at 88 years old, so I think Michael was a fan even before that.Here is a picture from 1975 I think with Michael and one of his wonderful ART:

If we go a few years in time,somewere in 1979,during a promotional tour for 'Off the Wall',here is Michael "with" Chalie Chaplin again:

On June 16, 1988 Michael performed a sell-out concert in Basel, Switzerland. Amongst celebrities at this show are Elizabeth Taylor and Bob Dylan. While in Basel, Michael met with Mrs. Oona Chaplin, the widow of one of Michael's all-time heroes, Charlie Chaplin. The Chaplin family moved to Vevey, Switzerland in 1953 when they purchased the elegant Manoir de Ban on Lake Geneva.

In 2002 appearance in VIBE magazine,Michael explains that he knows Charlie Chaplin's kids very well and that they had expressed to him that some people made very cruel remarks to them about their father :(. It seems that "because" of Michael,and this GREAT ADVENTURE, we have the CHANCE to rediscover many great talents from History,isn't it???????? :) 8-)

Thank you for posting this video.. Wow! I have never heard Chaplin's voice until this video.. I use to love watching his silent movies.. Oh yes Michael has heard this speech, Michael is following what Chaplin is saying. Michael is helping the world through his music. Funny, it took his suppsedly death to wake us up and understand what Michael was trying to say all along. Remember, one thing when Michael started to sing, some of us including myself we were his age, and we probably did not understand what he was trying to say, we just loved his beat of music.. After growing up, I started to understand what he was trying to say, but others didn't. Too bad we could have helped him change the world.. Not to late though, we can still do it.. Like they say better late than never.. blessings.

Yes, you are so right! I am also Michaels age and I was so excited about his music and especially for his style and the way he dressed back in 1988. I know, I bought a jacket at that time with many zips. Also I wanted to buy trousers with that one stripe. These I couldn't find, but the jacket I loved only because of him. He was so special, I must say I didn't got his message then. But I always felt him deep in my heart and always knew that he's a good one. Go Mike, go, we love you so so much. bearhug
